I was practicing adding text. I got the poem from an internet site where people can submit their poems. There was no name added and it also doesn't mention that you can't post it anywhere. Only it stated that you are not allowed to publish it under your own name. I just thought it was a beautiful poem. de Font is Agency FB. I don't remember where I got the pumpkin.

And yes people who eat too much of the wine trendil can become slightly intoxicated. Priests of ancient Israel were not allowed to eat anything from the vine during their service in the temple. That's why I know. I came across that once so I figured out why.

Do You mean to make a cutout with a shade? If so a good tip. I add it to show what's more possible with fonts. I haven't seen it used here before.

I added the Robin myself.

N = Nacho's

THE BACKGROUND IS FROM 2 COLORS AND A TEXTURE LEAVES FROM COREL. THE FONT NAME IS 101 FLORAL CORNERS. THE DECORATIVE WINDOW IS ELEMENT 4 FROM ADRIENNES SCRAPKIT WINE COUNTRY.

WE BELIEVE YOU EVEN WITHOUT A PHOTO.

@MoniqueN. And wind, I was scared to go outside.

I prefer my own cooked potatoes- the next day- cut in slices with a little bit of cornstarch (for an extra crispy result) and then baked in butter. My husband prefers peanut sauce me mayo.

I wanted to show my lovely bistro chair so I placed it in the corner. 😃 The font name is BUTTERFLY. The background is a brown color layer and an overlay of an interior. I don't remember what scrap kit it was. At last, I could use picture tubes from PSP.

We are not allowed to pick anything here, not from forests nor from parks. Nevertheless, some people do. 🤔

ttps://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hervormingsdag For those who are curious about what is happening elsewhere in the world on October 31, here is a link from Wikipedia. My laptop refused to set to English so you have to do that yourself. You have to know that Catholicism and Protestantism were strictly separated and each other's holidays were not celebrated. So was 5/6 Dec Katholic and Xmas 25/26 Dec Protestants. The day on which European pagans were baptized en masse into Christianity. (read Catholic) This was accompanied by celebrations and the exchange of gifts. These celebrations lasted 3 days. Xmas has been around since 300 AD. Due to the Romans, baptism was voluntary, not mandatory in those days. Santa Nicolas came between 500-600 AD. Not in the beginning as a holiday. Over the centuries, the celebrations kept changing. Today temperature is 11°C = 51.8°F very windy and rainy.

Get well soon Helen. Nice to hear that your husband took very good care of you.

I saw the differences and similarities, Sue. I keep seeing those very old explanations here, sometimes accompanied by very old paintings. (My laptop is constantly translating from English, French, and German.) A few similarities are the end of the growing season. The soil goes to rest. Cattle goes to the stables. Going door to door. Asking for food. Heavy time to Children. Difficulties to survive the winter.

This remains me of another holiday called St Maarten. Or Martin. I also don't know this festival from my youth. My husband doesn't either. Since we are both from a big city and St. Maarten was only held in small villages and towns. This is what I found on the internet. See the differences and similarities. Children walk past the doors with lanterns on November 11. Why is Sint Maarten on November 11? Martin dies in 397 AD. He was buried in the city of Tours on November 11th. The Saint Martin feast is therefore celebrated on the day he is buried. Martin was later canonized by the Roman Catholic Church. Saint means holy. Hence the name Sint Maarten. For many people, this is now an ordinary day, but for centuries this was a huge celebration. On this day, people once again went all out with food and drinks. In winter, people often had to go on rations to ensure they had enough food to get through the winter. Then on that day, poor people went door to door to collect food as well. Do you see the connection? Now children go door to door to pick up sweets. In the past, it was mainly poor children, but at the beginning of the last century, the festival was embraced as a general tradition. here it is a tradition the children have to sing songs in exchange for the treats. No trick or treat saying at all.

sorry Suzy after reading What is told you, here a bit different. This is what I found. I don't know what to believe. 🤥 American Wizardry Halloween as we know it today has undergone its greatest transformation in the United States. During the 19th century, Irish and Scottish immigrants brought their Halloween traditions to America, including the concept of trick-or-treating. Children dressed up and went door to door with bags to collect candy and treats. If they didn't get treats, they threatened to do a funny "trick" to bring a smile on their faces. On the same site: The Genius Concept of 'Trick-or-Treat' The concept of trick-or-treating is truly genius and has its origins in the Middle Ages in Europe. During that period, less fortunate people went door to door and asked for food in a friendly manner.

What are they looking for Ann. Snales??

A gift from 'Mother Nature'.😃

Thank you, Sue, I'm glad you gave me this information about the bumblebee.

Nice Ann, you did a slight rehearsal of the Bootcamp in your today's project.

The peak of starling migration is usually at the end of October here. The starlings that are in the Netherlands or Belgium in the summer fly south in the winter. Usually, starlings are in number the winners of the bird migration. Barn swallows are mostly second but the numbers are growing. We are now living in late October, but I have not seen many leave yet, probably due to the heavy rain. Normally they sit on the roofs in their thousands and then gather for the migration to the warmer south of Europe. Not that we will be without birds because plenty of them come here from Scandinavia. And other colder countries.
